JJ Redick, a 40-year-old rookie coach with 15 years of NBA experience, recently took over as the Lakers' head coach. However, just a day after the announcement, a former Duke University female student accused him of using the N-word towards her during their college days. Redick denied the allegation through his spokesperson, and the Lakers and Duke University have not yet commented on the issue. This isn't the first time Redick has been involved in racial discrimination controversies, as in 2018, he faced backlash for using a racially insensitive term in a video greeting to Chinese fans.
